Windows that Drew Peterson and his third wife Kathleen Savio once gazed out of are being sold to the highest bidder on eBay.

Seller Brian Lajewski, 34, who now owns Peterson’s former Bolingbrook home on the 1000 block of Walden Court, put the items up for sale last Thursday night. The move is the latest in a series of bizarre events and publicity stunts surrounding the case.

Bidding opened Thursday at 99 cents and was at $66 by Tuesday evening. Lajewski said the price has already surpassed his expectations.

“I was really thinking more like $10,” Lajewski said, adding the whole idea started more as a joke than an attempt to make money.

Lajewski and his wife Kim have lived in the home with their two daughters since 2003, several years after the Petersons lived there in the ‘90s. The Lajewskis recently decided to replace the windows — all original — in the 30-year-old house. They learned of their home’s now-infamous past when it made the news that Peterson’s fourth wife was missing and the former Bolingbrook cop was a suspect.

“We had a bunch of windows and I was originally going to put them on eBay,” Lajewski said. “Then I thought about it and said ‘no it’s kinda dumb.’”

Lajewski threw away most of the windows but held on to two, eventually deciding to put them up for sale to see what would happen and to poke fun at the media frenzy surrounding the case.

“I know it may be pathetic trying to make money on this, but what the heck,” Lajewski writes on his eBay post. “If you are some weird chick who is obsessed with guys who may have murdered multiple wives and want something that Drew once owned, this is for you. Maybe you hate this guy and want to own windows from a house Drew once owned just so you can smash them. That's cool too. If you don't care who owned them, but you need two windows go ahead and bid.”

Stacy Peterson, 23, went missing Oct. 28, 2007. Her husband’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found drowned in her Bolingbrook home’s bathtub in March 2004. It is not the same home Lajewski now owns. Stacy Peterson’s disappearance led police to reopen Savio’s death investigation, originally ruled an accident. Drew Peterson has denied involvement in either case and has not been charged with a crime.

As of Thursday, 11 bids had been made on the windows and Lajewski said he has gotten mostly positive or at least entertaining feedback. A few, though, have called the post “disgusting” and one person thought the windows should be turned over to police for evidence, despite the home having no link to Savio’s death.

Those interested in the windows can find Lajewski’s post with a simple eBay search of “Drew Peterson,” which should lead viewers to the windows, as well as several magazines featuring him on the covers. The windows are also listed under the “Weird Stuff” and “Slightly Unusual” categories.
